Guo Kang didn't know whether Jeanne had been hurt in any way, but this obviously made her extremely hostile to bows and arrows - and possibly the English who used bows and arrows.
At the same time, perhaps to make up for the lack of long-range weapons, she was very interested in firearms.
However, the effectiveness of firearms in this era is still relatively limited. Guo Kang himself does this every day and communicates with others frequently, so he knows it very well. Even in military organizations like the Hussites, which have a relatively "radical" weapon mix, the largest number of long-range weapons are still traditional crossbows.
Therefore, Guo Kang feels that it is not time to give up learning bow and arrow yet.
But Zhu Rangna was just not happy, so there was nothing he could do.
In order to take care of the family, Zhu Wenkui acted as both a father and a mother, and he felt tired just looking at it. I can only hope that Jeanne will understand her brother and stop being so resistant.
"Everyone has his or her own interests, and Jeanne is not planning to be a teacher. Archery is not very useful here, and if you don't learn it, you won't learn it." Guo Kang helped explain: "Anyway, she has a good understanding, and she really needs it. When time comes, learning will not be slow.”
"We originally came to see the tanks and artillery today. The preparations over there were slow, so we came here to visit." He said to Li Anning: "Would you like to watch the demonstration of the vehicle array with us?"
"Okay." Li Anning did not refuse. She looked at the artillery demonstration site on the other side, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you preparing ordnance? Is there going to be a war?"
"Ah?" Guo Kang asked curiously: "How did you come to such a conclusion?"
"Grandpa has been going to meetings every day these days, and when he comes back he complains about the large number of people in Greece." Li Anning said: "Although he didn't say what the meeting was about, when encountering such a situation, wouldn't it be necessary to take joint action?"
"Moreover, I heard from Theodora before that her brother was originally responsible for writing letters of credence. However, the task was suddenly canceled midway, which made Tuohuan very happy. This was originally an important diplomatic matter recently, but it suddenly changed. It's very big. It may be that the Khan's court has received new information, and the situation in Ming Dynasty is not as expected, and adjustments need to be made."
"The Khan's court has been pursuing the opening of a road to the East. It is impossible to suddenly give up the attempt to establish diplomatic contacts. The most likely reason is that more preparations need to be made first. This may be to seize the forward base or other military operations. The goal is of course It is to show sincerity and strength - according to the custom of the Khan's court, military means are indispensable."
"You brought the crown prince and the young princess here today, probably to prepare for contacting the Ming Dynasty later." She looked at the Zhu brothers and sisters: "Is this also a part of diplomacy?"
"You are quite serious in your analysis." Guo Kang looked surprised and replied, "But it really wasn't the case this time."
"Oh?" Li Anning tilted her head and looked at him.
"I heard that the battle on the Western Front is basically over, and the Great Khan is preparing to return home. Something happened within Shinra, and Sigismund no longer cares about competing with us for territory." Guo Kang did not answer her question directly, but said to himself : "When they come back and rotate, our group should go on an expedition."
"Originally, we really planned to send our credentials there and have a good greeting with Shaharul. The envoy would set off from Syria, secretly pass through Egypt, enter the Indian Ocean, and then disembark from Persia, passing through the Timur Khanate to Doncha. Chagatai Khan has been having a fierce fight with the Ming Dynasty recently, and he has even received the title of King Zhongshun. They will help send the envoy to Yingtian."
"However, the Khan's court received news from many sources that the forces of the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty seemed to have started a new round of war in the northeast and southeast. In this way, no matter who wins, the situation will change. We will write about the country again I’m afraid it will be too late to write a letter, send it over, and wait for tomorrow’s feedback. So it’s better to take action first while the situation is still unclear.”
"You are right. This is indeed a show of sincerity to others." Guo Kang said: "If we take the northern route, we should attack the remnants of the White Horde Khanate. I heard that they have gathered again recently, no. You know if there will be trouble. And if you go south, there is a high probability that you will get involved in the internal disputes of the Mamluks."
"As for which side to fight, it has nothing to do with me." He said, spreading his hands: "You also know that the certificate of credence was ordered by the Khan to prepare, and the timeout was called by the queen. Who are you really going to fight? We have to wait for the meeting between the Great Khan and the Zhuguo to finalize it. I can only attend a few meetings to consult and discuss intelligence, and the final decision is not my business."
"So, I just need to prepare my cannon and ordnance." He pointed to the venue: "I really just brought them here to see and seek their opinions. Diplomatic matters have nothing to do with me anymore. If Theodora asks you later, just tell her the same thing."
"I'm not sent by Theodora to inspect the work. Why are you talking about this in such a hurry?" Seeing that he was busy shirking responsibility, Li Anning shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, I understand what you mean... "
"Hey... She asked Shi Huizhen to ask me several times for no reason before, asking me what I thought every day. This time I also feel a little strange. It's all things she should know, and she asked me again what I do." Guo Kang Also a little embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't think about it that much. I just thought about my Brother Tian and Cannon."
"Are they two experts in this field?" Li Anning looked at Jeanne and asked.
"I think they are the experts." Guo Kang nodded firmly: "Not only them, there are many talents here who meet my needs. You see, whether it is the cavalry of the White House or the cavalry of the Mamluks, they are all It is the enemy we are most likely to encounter in the near future. In this case, it is better not to think so much and improve the artillery and vehicle array so that we can have one more person to rely on when we go into battle in the future."
He and Li Anning chatted wordlessly for a while before Brother Zelik trotted over and said he was ready. Guo Kang invited her to go and have a look.
"Okay. If we go on an expedition to Egypt, then I want to go with him. It's good enough to see in advance whether these ordnances are reliable." Li Anning said.
"Are you going? Why are you going?" Guo Kang hurriedly refused: "We are not Persians. Why are we bringing women with us to fight?"
"Then let's talk about it later." She waved her hand, said to take the horse back first, asked Guo Kang to wait for her, and left.
Watching her leave, Guo Kang let out a long sigh.
"Mr. Guo, what's wrong?" Zhu Wenkui asked with concern: "I thought you were fine at first, but why do you feel that you are suddenly nervous?"
"Hey, I was quite happy at first, but then she suddenly said that she was talking to Theodora. I was surprised. I suspected that they had a small meeting in the palace before they came." Guo Kang said rather distressed: "You have no idea how scary those Greek women are."
"What happened to the Greek women?" Jeanne asked doubtfully: "Also, why can't women go? I also want to go to the front line."
"Stop messing around." Guo Kang replied helplessly: "She has always wanted to see the pyramids and the ruins of the Tomb Sect. In fact, she just wanted to travel. Why don't you join in the fun."
"If I want to be a general, I have to learn from him early." Jeanna said confidently: "And I can take Nurhaci with me, so you don't have to worry about me."
"Take it with you?" Zhu Wenkui's eyes widened and he glanced at the wild boar next to him: "Then you... are a bit cruel to the Mamluks."
"..."
